Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.

This brings us to another one of our favorite things, LEGO. Anytime someone recreates an iconic scene using the building blocks, you’ve got our attention.So, check out this INCREDIBLE version of the newest “Dune” tease done with LEGO! Shai Hulud!

We’ve known for sometime that the one and only Danny Elfman was handling the score for Sam Raimi’s upcoming foray into Marvel Studios- “Doctor Strange In The Multiverse of Madness.” It really seems like the perfect union- Elfman’s unique and oftentimes dreamy soundscapes, Raimi’s visionary style, and a MCU character who exhibits strange and magical properties. Imagine our surprise this morning when Elfman posted a lovely little (and short) update on his official Facebook page teasing a set we weren’t expecting to see. “Working with my old friend Sam Raimi on the new Doctor Strange, which is super fun.
